Mine has always done that too. It seems that the input and output gain on the
card get set to maximum when it's initialized. If you have a mixer program that
lets you adjust the gain settings, turn them down. You don't need them set that
high. If, on the other hand, your card doesn't have adjustable gain, I don't
know what to tell you. (Other than, if you hear noises that vary with what
you're doing on your computer, disable your microphone input when you're not
using a microphone.)

Heheh. Ah, I love Linux on my PC, 'tis true, but...
(1) My one true PC desktop OS love is still OS/2. Okay, you can stop
laughing. :-) But Linux makes an excellent secondary OS.
(2) I'm too young to have been around then (I'm only in my mid-30's,
so the bad code must be some earlier programmer's fault! <grin>),
and
(3) Our system doesn't have a problem anyway because we treat dates
and times as a single standard binary counter the way it should
be done, and have done so since this particular system was first
implemented back in 1966. ;-)

Subject: Modem not responding !
Date: Fri, 19 Mar 1999 10:57:11 +0100
Hi,
I've just installed the RedHat 5.2 (kernel 2.0.36). My modem is a USR
56K professional message modem (external modem). I still have a winmodem
that I don't use anymore inside my computer.
Under Windows 95, my modem is connected on COM 1 (port 03F8, irq 4).
Therefore in control-panel I set my modem to /dev/cua0 (I've also tried
/dev/ttyS0).
Reading the Serial-HOWTO, I try to talk to my modem with kermit but I
get no answers at all (not even a beep !).
My mouse is an Intellimouse connected on psaux (PS/2), thus there
shouldn't be a conflict between my modem and my mouse.
In /var/log/dmesg I have :
Serial driver version 4.13 with no serial options enabled
PS/2 auxiliary pointing device detected -- driver installed.
Shouldn't I have some lines about my serial ports ?
When typing setserial -g /dev/cua0 I get :
/dev/cua0, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
Is it normal to get an unknown UART ? I set UART to 16550A but it didn't
change anything.
Is it possible that the winmodem still inside my computer hides in some
way the other modem ?
Any ideas ?

Considering that the motivations to switch videomodes
lessens considerably over time. This is not at all the
big problem that you make it out to be. Pedestrian users
are not making great use of that 'windows facility' to
begin with.

Nevermind that Xconfigurator is not at all complicated
to deal with. It's primary problem is the uglyiess of
it's character cell interface.

If you do get a celeron, it will not be capable of SMP unless it is
physically modified. One of intel's tactics to get people to buy
PII's rather than the cheaper celeron is disabling certain features
of the PII, such as SMP capability. The ppga version of the celeron,
when used with a "slocket" card in a slot1 mobo are the easiest to modify,
requiring as little as 1 wire to be soldered across the board.

I am currently running a dual p2-233 system (one cpu is a 233, the
other an underclocked 266, but it works fine) in a Tyan tiger 2 mobo,
no termination card required, not even a jumper to set. Im not sure
if the intel board requires one, but if it does, it should be included.

Geez. Just change the fonts. One could do this even in Win 3.1.
Mind you, the current xfree and applet functionality available
will handle this situation just fine. So one is "free" to change
resolutions easily in X.

I have the hard disk as master on IDE1,
a CD-writer as master on IDE2 and the 32xTEAC CDROM as slave on IDE2
(the flicker was also there before I added the CD-writer to the

could it still be a problem of the IDE-cables?

Linux has a problem? Its user base doubles every 18 months. It has

doesn't have a problem. You may have a problem with Linux.

one other thing to add to this to make it eaiser for others...
Diamond has a new bios update on their web site for this card. Once
you install it the XFreeSetup can "probe" your card and configure it
correctlly.. Anyway it worked for me.
I appreciate the tips... I must have tried the rpms a few

Now all works...at least I can use x windows...

Linux mem=128M

installation follow the procedure given below.
1. Execute the command "insmod tlan" at the prompt. 2. Execute the command
"netconf" at the prompt. 3. Configure the NIC by selecting the "Basic Host
Information option" and entering the IP Address, Netmask, Net device as eth0
and Kernal as tlan. 4. Select the "Gateway and routing" option from main menu
and fill in the detail of Gateway address and without fail enable the Gateway
option. 5. Accept the changes and exit from utility. 6. If you are installing
Redhat Linux 5.0 or 5.1 add the line "insmod tlan" in
/etc/rc.d/init/d/network. 7. To confirm about the configuration execute the
command "ifconfig -a" which will display the details of your NIC configured.

I had the same troubles and I ended up having to put the jumpers in
place on the modem which told Linux that it was com2 and IRQ3. Worked
like a charm w/KPPP in KDE.
Naturally, the modem then no longer was recognized by Win95 so I had to
delete it and then reinstall it as a "nonPNP" modem. I also had to
reconfigure the dial up network to recognize the "new" nonPNP modem.
This worked fine for me. Hope it helps you! Tim

two more things to look at. Are we printing RAW? It could lock up the cpu
untill the file is done printing. Or a cute little problem that we found
running SCO UNIX an unbelievably large printer log file (162 megs). It'll
rewrite printerlog to .old for every print? not sure with linux.
